VOLKSWAGEN’S Golf-sized SUV could be just the car for the brand-loyal motorist who has been resisting the urge to switch allegiance.
T-Roc may be a late arrival to the mass rave that is the Compact SUV party, but with DNA linking it to one of the world’s best selling cars, you can be sure the entrance has been timed to perfection. All things come to those who wait, as they say….
THE motoring world these days has more niches than Casanova had notches on his headboard – and BMW have added to another one.

It’s almost as anonymous as Donald Trump’s hair stylist, another neat family hatch from Vauxhall to add to the many more neat family hatchbacks plying for sales.
SOMETHING of the proportions of the Range Rover Velar is a mighty machine to squeeze into a gap – particularly when that gap is in the Range Rover line-up and is a gap that no one knew existed.

Watch out for a report on this one, coming soon to a screen in front of you!
AS the Monty Python chaps would say, now for something completely different…..
No longer does the Mercedes-Benz entry level model fall over and wave its wheels in anguish at the sight of a roadside Elk.

ITS Champion Yellow body colour gives the new Suzuki Swift Sport the distinct appearance of a motoring high-viz jacket.
It’s the metal equivalent of the sort of apparel a top athlete might use when training, which is quite appropriate really, because it’s a great little runner….
